Who do you support for U.S. House in New York (District 4) in 2010?

How can anyone support McCarthy? A vote for McCarthy is absolutely a vote for Nancy Pelosi. McCarthy does not represent Long Islanders, she represents Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district. McCarthy has become one of the Washington insiders who steers money to her friends at the expense of everyone. No further proof needed than her ties to a lobbyist who was has pleaded guilty to providing illegal campaign contributions.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010...

By the way, why is there no debate scheduled between McCarthy and her challenger, Francis Becker? Is McCarthy as scared of him as she is her own constituents who she also refuses to meet with?

Carolyn McCarthy has constantly representedthe middle class in our district. Her positions are fair and balanced. Becker is just a product of the old Republican machine, and will just be another ignorant puppet if elected...Vote McCarthy!

Very weak argument, my friend. But typical republican, just smear and fear.....

Carolyn McCarthy is a rubber stamp for the Obama, Reid and Pelosi gang. She is too busy on the Washington Cocktail Party Circuit to bother meeting with the citizens of the 4th CD. My numerous attempts to engage her in a real discussion over Obamacare were met with the same tired auto response. To Congresswoman McCarthy: Thank you for your service however your services are no longer required.

If you like the direction this administration is taking this county the past 2 years vote for Carolyn McCarthy. If you have had enough of the apology tour, political correctness, back room Chicago type politics, mounting debt on our children and grandchildren vote R for Return to Normal. If not vote D for continuing DISASTER.

Fran Becker will be a great represeentative for the 4th c.d. He will not be a part of the establishment. I think he will be closer to the "Young Guns",m Like Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy. He is honest, sincere and a man of the people.

Carolyn has turned into a career politician who is too busy in her hamptons home to hold a town hall meeting. Fact, she does not have town hall meetings, she is CORRUPT, time fotr REAL CHANGE. BYE BYE Carolyn.

1) AMNESTY for illegal aliens, over and over and over again. The majority of her district is against amnesty, she is for it.

2) Voted for the Obama Health Plan. Did 2000 pages have some 'good things', yes...did the 1900 other pages or garbage deserve a yes vote? NO.

3) She voted YES on giving her and Congress a raise in the middle of a recession, and then said it was only a 'cost of living increase'. Hey Carolyn, in the 'real world' that is a raise, think back to your nursing days....oh right, too long ago. Then she and her campaign have the audacity to say Fran did the same thing, yet they fail to mention that raise was rescinded, as I recall her raise was NOT rescinded. Double standard Carolyn?

Carolyn is too busy in her 1.8 million dollar hamptons home to be bothered having a town hall meeting. I've called her office for YEARS, she does not have town hall meetings, why would she if she only votes along party lines 98% of the time?

She was awful in the Debate....let us see how she does tomorrow night in a debate with Fran. I guarantee she will again, have no clue, yet the sheep who have no idea of her voting record will still pull the proverbial lever.

The idea that Fran Becker will not be a part of the establishment is laughable! Despite his claims to be a businessman, he is a politician who comes from a family of politicians that for decades has been a major part of the disfunctional Nassau County Republican machine (think Gulotta, Mondello). He would be just another loyal soldier in the party of no, with no real ideas for improving our economy besides the failed Bush pablum of lower taxes.

Carolyn McCarthy had to return $54,000 of donations from a lobbyist who recently plead guilty to giving out illegal donations... but the money that McCarthy steered to his clients,$4.5 million is long gone. That is not a smear that is facts.

Her vote are far left extremist, period. She has not seen an abortion, late term or not, that she won't vote for. She supports Obamacare, amnesty for illegals, cap and trade, etc. She is a far, far, far left extremist if you look at her voting record.

She does not represent the people in her district, that is not smear, that is not fear, that is fact. If you are going to comment, try doing a little bit more than a smug little remark that makes you think, in your own mind, that you are brilliant. You are not, you just think you are.

Really? do you even know how she has voted on ANYTHING? I've seen her abysmal voting record on just about everything...and guess what, it does not reflect the majority of those in her district. Her job, is to represent the MAJORITY of those in her district, not to do what 'she wants' or vote along Democratic lines. But since you are in the minority and this is how she votes, you think she is as good as sliced bread.

McCarthy does not represent middle class Long Island, but rather the liberal leanings of Berkeley. She has failed to demonstrate that she is fiscally responsible. I prefer to give my vote to someone who knows something about $/taxes/financial planning - Mr. Becker you have my vote.
